How to Build a Website - Day 30 - Forums

Day 30 A Last Traffic Generation Tip

Generate traffic using forums


Time flies, don't you think? Today I'm going to give you a last tip to generate traffic to your site. Although most of them don't allow external links to be followed (using the "no follow" tag), they are nonetheless useful for traffic matters. 


Forums are very good at attracting readership and potential customers. When I talk about forums, I mean: forums related to your niche, of course.

So if you want to profit from that source of traffic, I suggest joining a few of them - make sure not to join too many of them otherwise you're going to be overwhelmed with too many daily tasks.

Once you are member of 2 or 3 forums, set up your forum signature. Make sure it includes a link to your website (preferably a contextual link) and keep taking part to the community.

Your signature will thus appear in all of the post you'll make in the forum and people will see it, they will visit your site and if they are in a buying mood, they will even buy from you instead of from someone else.

Make up to five posts per week and make sure to not sell anything to your new online friends. Just write your thoughts, add your personal comments into an open thread, answer any question some might ask, etc. Be kind and make useful posts. 


Here you are.


Congratulation! You just created a website in just 30 days!


What's next?

Wash, rince, repeat...

Good luck!
